Ohio is a classic swing state. It has been on the winning side of presidential election since 1964. It voted for RN over JFK in 1960 putting it on the losing side of that election...but that election was stolen anyways by the Kennedys in Il and TX. FL too is usually a good bell weather.
The following 10 states decide presidential elections:
Three in the West: NV,NM, and CO.
Three in the Midwest: IA, OH, and IN.
Three in the South: VA,NC, and FL.
One in the Northeast: NH
The rest of the 40 states have pretty well established voting patterns in presidential elections for the last twenty years or so.
yer living in the 1960’s ....
